Fore River Bridge opening Wednesday

The Fore River Bridge is scheduled to open at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 23, to let an oil tanker pass, halting Route 3A traffic for 15 to 45 minutes.

The exact time of bridge openings is subject to weather and other conditions. Openings occur every few days, usually with little notice. The bridge also makes unannounced openings for outbound tankers, barges and other vessels.
